Carl,

Bottom line. One of the DPA's major tenets is a "conflict of interest" which has NO OBJECTIVE INDICATION of EVER HARMING DELTA PILOTS (to the contrary, ALPA has always been on Delta's side!)

The DPA has misidentified the problem and offers the wrong solution.

Our upcoming job fight is going to revolve around multi-crew certification, cabotage and INTERNATIONAL issues which DPA would be a yipping, soggy, wet poodle to defend us against.

But hey, IMO the DPA has some great folks running it and helping out. We could use you in ALPA.
